RNA biology: investigating the role of UPF1 in mRNA Processing and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Project Outline. Accurate gene expression is fundamental to the survival of all life forms. RNA helicases, a large family of enzymes, are key regulators involved in several stages of this process, including transcription, pre-mRNA processing, and translation. Read more
Intestinal Stem Cell Regulation in Homeostasis and Disease
BACKGROUND. The epithelia that perform vital roles throughout the body as linings and sites of exchange are constantly turned over throughout life. Read more
Age-dependent mechanisms of α-Synuclein dynamics in synaptic function
PhD Studentship in Neuroscience. Imperial College London. Hammersmith Campus, London, UK. Applications are invited for a 3.5-year PhD studentship supported by the Edmond J. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) The role of mitochondria on chromosomal mutation rates and antimicrobial resistance in hybrid species
Mutation rate is fundamental to the evolution of all of life. Mutations and selection are also the way microorganisms develop antimicrobial resistance. Read more
Understanding genomic structural variation for cattle complex phenotypes
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Novel micro-vessel bioengineering using iPSCs to study genetic variants on small vessel function
A healthy vascular system is essential for the proper function of organs in the human body. Small blood vessels like arterioles are central in controlling blood flow, blood pressure, and regulate the blood flow entering various organs via capillary networks. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) mRNA epigenetics: Characterization of novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the emerging field of epitranscriptomics is still in its infancy in developing methods for accurate global detection of mRNA modifications. Read more
Passing on the molecule of life: single-molecule investigation of unconventional DNA replication
A fully funded PhD studentship is available to investigate mechanisms that ensure accurate and stable DNA replication, crucial for multiplication of both normal and cancer cells. Read more
Understanding the origins of oxidation in the nucleus
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been thought to be harmful products of cellular metabolism, that can cause mutations that promote cancer or accelerate ageing. Read more

Stress sensing and cell polarity regulation
Research Group:
Institute of Cell Biology
Cell organisation is critical for cell function and depends on spatial cell-polarity cues and landmarks, both internally and externally. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Understanding how commensal bacteria modulate the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The microbes that live on and in the human body do not do so alone. Bacteria which cause infections – pathogenic bacteria – infect as part of diverse, polymicrobial communities. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Understanding how translation elongation is regulated to control protein synthesis during the response to oxidative stress conditions
All aerobic organisms are exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) during normal aerobic metabolism or following exposure to radical-generating compounds. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Tackling metal contamination and demand: Engineering microbial biorecovery of metals
This project will focus on the development of a new approach for the removal and biorecovery of high value and precious metals from waste streams to address global challenges associated with environmental metal contamination and the growing demand for metallic catalysts. Read more

Investigating genome plasticity and its role in drug resistance in Candida albicans.
Research Group:
Institute for Regeneration and Repair
Fungal pathogens are a huge burden on human health, killing over 2 million people each year, six times more than malaria or influenza, and are deadlier than most bacterial infections. With only four classes of antifungal drugs available, and an increase in resistance seen in clinics, there is an urgent need for developing new strategies against antifungal resistance. Read more
